Urban Specialist - GF

Peru, Lima, Lima - World Bank Group

Description Working at the World Bank Group provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. The World Bank Group is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty, increasing shared prosperity, and promoting sustainable development. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, we work with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global challenges. Visit [www.worldbank.org](http://www.worldbank.org/).   Regional Context The WBG serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR). Clients range from large, rapidly growing sophisticated middle-income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile state. Despite immense resources, dynamic societies, and an average annual per capita income of about $4,000, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty. The last Bank's strategy for LCR focused on three pillars: (a) supporting the foundations for inclusive growth; (b) investing in human capital and protecting the poor; and (c) building resilience. In the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic, this strategy will need to be adjusted to better support the countries to deal with a health crisis without precedents and an economic crisis. Yet, the basic elements of the strategy: accelerating growth, investing in human capital, and building resilience appear fully relevant. The Sustainable Development (SD) Department supports the WBG's twin goals by focusing on green, resilient, and inclusive growth. It consists of five global practices (GPs): Agriculture and Food; Environment, Natural Resources, and the Blue Economy; Urban, Resilience and Land; Social Sustainability and Inclusion; and Water.  Within the SD Department, SLCUR serves client countries in the Latin-American and the Caribbean (LCR) region in the areas of urban development, disaster risk management, land, and regional development. Clients range from middle-income countries (MICs) such as Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, with demand for cutting-edge knowledge services and technical assistance in addition to lending, to IDA countries like Haiti, Honduras, and small island countries in the Caribbean, with an emphasis on poverty reduction and programs that support equitable and enhanced access to social and economic opportunities. The Latin America and Caribbean Region contains 17 of the top 50 countries identified in the World Bank-sponsored Hotspot study with highest GDP exposure to natural hazards. With an increasing concentration of assets in urban or semi-urban areas, human and physical losses from floods, landslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and other natural events are on the rise and important development gains are being erased overnight.  Population growth and the ever-increasing concentration of infrastructure in urban or semi-urban areas have been clear drivers of the growth in human and physical losses from adverse natural events.  This trend is now being exacerbated by increasing climate variability, bringing disaster risk management and climate change adaptation to the forefront of the Region's development agenda. In the area of Urban Development, the SLCUR team provides technical, analytical and financial support to regional clients in a broad range of technical areas including urban poverty reduction, service delivery, municipal finance, urban regeneration and infrastructure urban resilience, and the urban growth, jobs, and competitiveness agendas. The team is active across the spectrum of Bank instruments including the provision of reimbursable advisory services, financing city-level interventions, financial intermediary engagements, and deep policy and analytical work to support the urban development challenges of the region. SLCUR provides support to client countries with IBRD and IDA financing, as well as through significant partnerships with a range of grant financing windows. In Peru, the program focuses largely on the urban development and land administration sector but has engagements more broadly including on housing and resilience. About the Position The Urban Specialist will be a LRS position in Lima, Peru and report to the Practice Manager, SLCUR. The Urban Specialist will co-lead or participate in task teams, contribute to lending operations, policy dialog and technical assistance programs and help enhance institutional capacity of our clients to respond to urban development challenges; co-lead and/or contribute to the sector dialogue and provide just-in-time advisory work, business development and policy reform. She/he will work closely with Urban and DRM-focused colleagues working in the country. A specialized focus in housing, urban planning, and land management, and/or regional development would be expected. He/She will be expected to lead and participate in tasks, operational and analytical work, contribute to teams within the unit and beyond, and support the program across the range of Bank instruments.

Description Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? Working at the World Bank provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. The World Bank consists of two entities – the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). It is a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries. As the largest development bank in the world, the World Bank provides loans, guarantees, risk management products, and advisory services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges. Visit www.worldbank.org.      The Adaptation Fund is an innovative financing mechanism set up by the Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with the purpose of financing concrete climate change adaptation projects and programmes in developing country Parties, serving the landmark Paris Agreement. At the request of the COP, the GEF is providing secretariat services to the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), through a dedicated team. Since becoming fully operational in 2010, and up to 30 June 2023, the Fund's overall project approvals including project formulation and Readiness grants amount to US$ 1,059.7 million in 110 countries. The Adaptation Fund was the first international climate fund to enable direct access to its resources by developing countries' national organizations. Through direct access, National Implementing Entities are able to directly access financing and manage all aspects of climate adaptation and resilience projects, from design through implementation to monitoring and evaluation. In 2014, the Adaptation Fund launched the Readiness Programme for Climate Finance, designed to capture and share the growing experiences of AF direct access and other climate finance in order to strengthen the capacity of national and regional entities to receive and manage climate financing. The Adaptation Fund is governed by its Board, which normally meets twice a year. The Board consists of two subcommittees, one of which – Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) – is dedicated to reviewing project/programme proposals as well as policy proposals designed to support programming. Currently, the Adaptation Fund secretariat runs three project and programme review cycles a year, coordinated by Senior Climate Change Specialist who leads the Programming team. The team is responsible for: managing the project/programme review cycle process, including communication, liaising with and support to the Fund's implementing entities, Board and AF's NGO community, as well as other stakeholders; technical review process and within specific timeframes, assuring compliance with criteria and Fund's policies are met – notably, the Environmental and Social Policy and Gender Policy; operations with relevant World Bank systems and Fund's website (ensuring transparency); support in the preparation of project agreements; and carrying out the administrative and financial due diligence.

Currently, the Adaptation Fund is implementing its second Medium-term Strategy (MTS-2), covering the five-year period 2023-2027, and which is underpinned by its work in three pillars: Action, Innovation and Learning-and-Sharing. The implementation plan of the strategy is the guiding document that lays out the expected outcomes and outputs under the pillars in the remaining years covered by the MTS-2. This includes, among others, rollout of funding windows that would further support locally-led adaptation, programmes that utilize and build capacity for devolved decision-making and implementation, and developing options for supporting the funding of NAP and NDC implementation programmatically through the various windows of the Fund. The Programming team also takes leadership in organizing the PPRC meetings and materials, together with the other secretariat's teams, as needed.

And we never give up.   For every child, Equality The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action.
